Deuteronomy 29:9-15
English Standard Version
9 (A)Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper[a] in all that you do.
10 “You are standing today, all of you, before the Lord your God: the heads of your tribes,[b] your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones, your wives, and the (B)sojourner who is in your camp, from (C)the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water, 12 so that you may enter into the (D)sworn covenant of the Lord your God, which the Lord your God is making with you today, 13 that he may (E)establish you today as his people, and that (F)he may be your God, as he promised you, and (G)as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 14 It is not with you alone (H)that I am making this sworn covenant, 15 but with whoever is standing here with us today before the Lord our God, (I)and with whoever is not here with us today.

New Living Translation
9 “Therefore, obey the terms of this covenant so that you will prosper in everything you do. 10 All of you—tribal leaders, elders, officers, all the men of Israel—are standing today in the presence of the Lord your God. 11 Your little ones and your wives are with you, as well as the foreigners living among you who chop your wood and carry your water. 12 You are standing here today to enter into the covenant of the Lord your God. The Lord is making this covenant, including the curses. 13 By entering into the covenant today, he will establish you as his people and confirm that he is your God, just as he promised you and as he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 “But you are not the only ones with whom I am making this covenant with its curses. 15 I am making this covenant both with you who stand here today in the presence of the Lord our God, and also with the future generations who are not standing here today.
